 Replying to [comment:101 gk]:
 > One thing arma noted on IRC is that we might want to think about really
 having "Low" as a slider label: "Look, the Tor folks are shipping their
 Tor Browser by default with low security!!1!1". I am inclined to keep it
 the way it currently is, though.

 I strongly agree. That's why I was suggesting to write “Most compatible”
 or something similar earlier on.
